Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1755

Sylvia stiffened, hurriedly rolling over to turn her back to him in a clear refusal to communicate. Steve immediately pressed his warm body against her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. He was a grown man, yet he buried his face in the crook of her neck, whining without a shred of dignity.

"Help me out, please? Ms. Moore. My lovely Sylvia..." He peppered absentminded kisses across her bare shoulder, his tone utterly pitiful. "I am begging you. I am going to die from this ache."

Sylvia lifted a hand and covered her eyes in near-collapse. She realized she had absolutely no defense against Steve's relentless, soft-spoken badgering. The man was like a piece of sticky candy. Once he attached himself, there was no shaking him off. Worse, he knew exactly how to poke at all her weak spots.

"We are not even an official couple yet..." She took a deep breath, trying to claw back her last shred of reason. "I do not want to..."

Before she could finish, Steve raised a hand and gently pressed his thumb against her lips, silencing the rest of her sentence. "You like it, and I like it. That is enough." His tone turned uncharacteristically serious. "We only live for a few short decades. Why must we restrain ourselves at every turn?" He gently rolled her onto her back and pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. "Every once in a while, you should just follow your heart and let go. Toss out all those messy worries. Let us just enjoy the moment, enjoy each other, and live freely for once. Hmm?"
